Steven Fullarton Peet

Funeral services will be held 10 a.m., Saturday March 30th at Hillsboro Memorial Funeral Home.

Steve was born in New Vernon, New Jersey to Edwin and Mary Ellen Peet on April 12th, 1952. He attended Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts, and graduated from the University of South Florida. He married Susan Vandivere Johnson on July 26th, 1986 in Tampa, Florida.

For over 40 years Steve was a well-respected soccer coach, coaching at some of the highest levels in the U.S. and abroad. His love and respect for the game projected on and off the field, which led him to become not only a beloved coach, but mentor as well. He was a gifted athlete, intrepid world traveler, Motown-loving music fan, renowned card shark and devoted husband and father. He was one of seven siblings who remember him as the giver of nicknames, mischief-maker, and chief dog whisperer of the family. He asked to be remembered as “a simple man who just loved to coach and make his players better.”

Steve is preceded in death by his father, Edwin Fullarton Peet and mother, Mary Ellen Schneckenburger Peet.

Steve is survived by his wife, Susan Peet; daughter, Mary Nicole “Nikki” Peet; brothers and sisters, Elly Sharpe, Molly Peet (Rich Hargis), Sissy Walker (Derek), T. Stiles Peet (Barbara), Jon Peet (Celia) and Deborah Riplinger (Ken); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorials may be given to LifePath Hospice.

The Peet family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to LifePath Hospice and all of our friends and family for their selfless support and love.
